Operating System Documents for Different Audiences

As shown on the previous page, Altos offers many manuals with Altos UNIX System V-the manuals you receive will depend on your configuration. To help you decide which manuals are best suited to your needs, we have listed below the manuals according to three broad groups of users.

These lists are only suggested starting points in your search for information. They are not meant to imply that certain users should not read certain manuals. Find the user group that best applies to you, and use its list of manuals as a starting point for your reading, from which you can move on to other manuals.

Note that every Run-time System includes five manuals: the Installation Guide, the User's Guide, the User's Reference, the System Administrator's Guide, and the System Administrator's Refer- ence. The Run-time System reference pages that describe the C, M, F, ADM, and HW commands ("man pages") are provided online as'well. If you have the Development System, all manuals listed under "For Programmers:" come with your operating system. (All Development System reference pages are also provided online.) To order additional manuals, call (408) 434-6688, exten- sion 3004 and give the manual title and part number.

Preface

Throughout the documentation, a given command, routine, or file is referred to by its name and a section (in parentheses). For example, the programming command cc, is listed as cc(CP), which indicates that cc is described in the Programming Commands (CP) section.

There is a total of twelve reference sections in Altos UNIX System V, in different volumes of the Operating System and the Development System documents. (These reference sections are often called manual pages, or just man pages, in short.) For example, the cc(CP) command mentioned above is located in the CP section found in the Programmer's Reference.

This document, the User's Reference (e, M, F), contains the following three reference sections:

Section Description Volume

C Commands - used with the User's Reference

Operating System.

M Miscellaneous - information used User's Reference for access to devices, system

maintenance, and communi- cations.

F File Formats - description of User's Reference various system files not defined in

section M.

The following table lists the remaining reference sections, the type of commands they contain, and in which document each is located.

(8)

Section Description Volume ADM Administrative Commands - used System Administrator's

for system administration. Reference

CP Programming Commands - used Programmer's Reference with the Development System.

DOS DOS Cross-development Developer's Guide

subroutines and libraries

HW Hardware device manual pages - System Administrator's information about hardware Reference

devices and device nodes.

K Kernel routines - used for writing Device Driver Writer's

device drivers. Guide

NSL Network Services Library - used Developer's Guide with the STREAMS System.

S System Calls and Library Programmer's Reference

Routines - available for C and assembly language programming.

STR STREAMS manual pages Developer's Guide

XNX XENIX cross-development Library Guide manual pages

The alphabetized table of contents following this preface lists all Altos UNIX System V commands, system calls, library routines, and file formats. In addition, in the front of each individual reference section there is an alphabetized list of all the manual pages contained in that section.

The permuted index, found at the end of the User's Reference, and the end of the Programmer's Reference, is useful in matching a desired task with the manual page that describes it. It too is an organized list of all Altos UNIX System V commands, system calls, library routines, and file formats, but organized according to function, not alphabetically.

Note that some pages in the Operating System documents refer to

"include" files that are actually part of the Development System.

Intro

introduces Altos UNIX System V commands Description

This section describes how to use many of the general-purpose commands available in the Altos UNIX System V Operating System.

These command are labeled with a C, as with date (C). The letter

"c"

stands for "command."

Other commands have different labels, such as CP (for "Command Programming") or M (for "Miscellanous "). Refer to the "Preface"

of this manual for a list of all the different reference sections, what commands and utilities each section describes, and in which manual each section is located.

Note that some reference sections, most notable the CP and S sections, are included only with the Development System, which is an optional supplemental package not always included with the standard Operat- ing System.

Syntax

Unless otherwise noted, commands described in the Syntax section of a manual page accept options and other arguments according to the following syntax and should be interpreted as explained below.

name [-option ... J [cmdarg ... J where:

[ ] Square brackets surround an option or cmdarg that is not required.

A pipe (vertical bar) separates mutually exclusive options. Choose one of the items separated by this symbol.

Ellipses (three periods) indicate multiple occurrences of the option or cmdarg .

name This specifies the name of an executable file.

option (Always preceded by a "-".) noargletter ... or,

argletter optarg [, ... ]

March 15,1991 INTR0-1

(30)

INTRO (C) noargletter

argletter optarg

cmdarg

INTRO (C) A single letter representing an option without an option-argument. Note that more than one noargletter option can be grouped after one "-" (Rule 5 in the following text).

A single letter representing an option requiring an option-argument.

An option-argument (character string) satisfying a preceding argletter. Note that groups of optargs following an argletter must be separated by commas or separated by white space and quoted (Rule 8 below).

Path name (or other command argument) not begin- ning with "-", or "-" by itself indicating the standard input.

Command Syntax Standard: Rules

These command syntax rules are not followed by all current commands, but all new commands use them. getopts (C) should be used by all shell procedures to parse positional parameters and to check for legal options. It supports Rules 3-10 below. The enforcement of the other rules must be done by the command itself.

1. Command names (name above) must be between two and nine characters long.

2. Command names must include only lowercase letters and digits.

3. Option names (option above) must be one character long.

4. All options must be preceded by "-".

5. Options with no arguments may be grouped after a. single

" "

6. The first option-argument (optarg above) following an option must be preceded by white space.

7. Option-arguments cannot be optional.

8. Groups of option-arguments following an option must either be separated by commas or separated by white space and quoted (e.g., -0 xxx,z,yy or -0 "xxx Z yylt).

9. All options must precede operands (cmdarg above) on the command line.

March 15, 1991 INTR0-2

(31)

INTRO (C) INTRO (C) 10. " •• " may be used to indicate the end of the options.

11. The order of the options relative to one another should not matter.

12. The relative order of the operands (cmdarg above) may affect their significance in ways determined by the command with which they appear.

13. "." preceded and followed by white space should only be used to mean standard input.

Diagnostics

Upon termination, each command returns 2 bytes of status, one supplied by the system and giving the cause for termination, and (in the case of "normal" termination) one supplied by the program (see waiteS) and exit(S». The former byte is 0 for normal termination; the latter is customarily 0 for successful execution and nonzero to indicate troubles such as erroneous parameters, bad or inaccessible data. It is called variously "exit code", "exit status", or "return code", and is described only where special conventions are involved.

Notes

Not all commands adhere to the syntax described here.

300 (C) 300 (C)

300,300s

handle special functions of DASI 300 and 300s termi- nals

Syntax

300 [+12] [-n] [-dt,l,c]

300s [ +12] [ -n] [ -dt,l,c ]

Description

The 300 command supports special functions and optimizes the use of the DASI 300 (GSI 300 or DTC 300) terminal; 300s performs the same functions for the DASI 300s (GSI 300s or DTC 300s) terminal. It converts half-line forward, half-line reverse, and full-line reverse motions to the correct vertical motions. In the following discussion of the 300 command, it should be noted that unless your system contains the text processing software, references to certain commands (e.g., nroff, neqn, eqn, etc.) will not work. It also attempts to draw Greek letters and other special symbols. It permits convenient use of l2-pitch text.

It also reduces printing time 5 to 70%. The 300 command can be used to print equations neatly, in the sequence:

neqn file •..

I

^nroff

I

³⁰⁰

WARNING: if your terminal has a PLOT switch, make sure it is turned on before 300 is used.

The behavior of 300 can be modified by the optional flag arguments to handle l2-pitch text, fractional line spacings, messages, and delays.

+12 permits use of l2-pitch, 6 lines/inch text. DASI 300 terminals normally allow only two combinations: lO-pitch, 6 lines/inch, or 12-pitch, 8 lines/inch. To obtain the 12-pitch, 6 lines per inch combination, the user should turn the PITCH switch to 12, and use the +12 option.

March 15, 1989 300-1

(33)

300 (C) -n

-dt,l,c

300 (C) controls the size of half-line spacing. A half-line is, by default, equal to 4 vertical plot increments. Because each increment equals 1/48 of an inch, a 10-pitch line-feed requires 8 increments, while a 12-pitch line-feed needs only 6. The first digit of n overrides the default value, thus allowing for individual taste in the appearance of sub- scripts and superscripts. For example, nroffhalf-lines could be made to act as quarter-lines by using -2. The user could also obtain appropriate half-lines for 12-pitch, 8 lines/inch mode by using the option -3 alone, having set the PITCH switch to 12-pitch.

controls delay factors. The default setting is -d3,90,30.

DASI 300 terminals sometimes produce peculiar output when faced with very long lines, too many tab characters, or long strings of blankless, non-identical characters. One null (delay) character is inserted in a line for every set of t tabs, and for every contiguous string of c non-blank, non- tab characters. If a line is longer than I bytes, 1 +(total length)/20 nulls are inserted at the end of that line. Items can be omitted from the end of the list, implying use of the default values. Also, a value of zero for t ^(c)results in two null bytes per tab (character). The former may be needed for C programs, the latter for files like letc/passwd.

Because terminal behavior varies according to the specific characters printed and the load on a system, the user may have to experiment with these values to get correct output.

The -d option exists only as a last resort for those few cases that do not otherwise print properly. For example, the file /etc/passwd may be printed using -d3,30,5. The value -dO,! is a good one to use for C programs that have many levels of indentation.

Note that the delay control interacts heavily with the pre- vailing carriage return and line-feed delays. The stty (C) modes nIO cr2 or nIO cr3 are recommended for most uses.

The 300 command can be used with the nroff -s flag or .rd requests, when it is necessary to insert paper manually or change fonts in the middle of a document. Instead of hitting the return key in these cases, you must use the line-feed key to get any response.

In many (but not all) cases, the following sequences are equivalent:

nroff -DOO files. .. and nroff files ...

I

300 nroff -T300-12 files . . . and nroff files. ..

I

^{300 + 12}

The use of 300 can thus often be avoided unless special delays or options are required; in a few cases, however, the additional move- ment optimization of 300 may produce better aligned output.

300 (C)

Notes

300 (C)

Some special characters cannot be correctly printed in column 1 because the print head cannot be moved to the left from there.

If your output contains Greek and/or reverse line-feeds, use a friction- feed platen instead of a forms tractor; although good enough for drafts, the latter has a tendency to slip when reversing direction, distorting Greek characters and misaligning the first line of text after one or more reverse line-feeds.

4014 (C)

4014

paginator for the TEKTRON IX 4014 terminal Syntax

4014 [ -t ] [ -n ] [ -eN] [ -pL ] [ file ]

Description

4014 (C)

The output of 4014 is intended for a TEKTRONIX 4014 terminal;

4014 arranges for 66 lines to fit on the screen, divides the screen into N columns, and contributes an eight-space page offset in the (default) single-column case. Tabs, spaces, and backspaces are collected and plotted when necessary. TELETYPE Model 37 half- and reverse-line sequences are interpreted and plotted. At the end of each page, 4014 waits for a new-line (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page. In this wait state, the command !cmd will send the cmd to the shell.

The command line options are:

-t Do not wait between pages (useful for directing output into a file).

-n Start printing at the current cursor position and never erase the screen.

-eN

Divide the screen into N columns and wait after the last column.

-pL

Set page length to L; L accepts the scale factors i (inches) and I (lines); default is ·lines.

450 handle special functions of the DASI 450 terminal

Syntax

450

Description

The 450 command supports special functions of, and optimizes the use of, the DASI 450 terminal, or any terminal that is functionally identical, such as the Diablo 1620 or Xerox 1700. It converts half-line forward, half-line reverse, and full-line reverse motions to the correct vertical motions. It also attempts to draw Greek letters and other special symbols in the same manner as 300(C). It should be noted that, unless your system contains text processing software, certain com- mands (e.g., eqn, nroff, tbI, etc.) will not work. Use 450 to print equations neatly, in the sequence:

neqn file ...

I

^nroff

I

⁴⁵⁰

WARNING: Make sure that the PLOT switch on your terminal is ON before 450 is used. The SPACING switch should be put in the desired position (either 10- or 12-pitch). In either case, vertical spacing is 6 lines/inch, unless dynamically changed to 8 lines per inch by an appropriate escape sequence.

Use 450 with the nroff -s flag or .rd requests when it is necessary to insert paper manually or change fonts in the middle of a document.

Instead of hitting the return key in these cases, you must use the line- feed key to get any response.

In many (but not all) cases, the use of 450 can be eliminated in favor of one of the following:

nroff -T450 files ...

or

nroff -T450-12 files ...

The use of 450 can thus often be avoided unless special delays or options are required; in a few cases, however, the additional move- ment optimization of 450 may produce better aligned output.

Notes

450 (C)

Some special characters cannot be correctly printed in column 1 because the print head cannot be moved to the left from there.

If your output contains Greek and/or reverse line-feeds, use it friction- feed platen instead of a forms tractor; although good enough for drafts, the latter has a tendency to slip when reversing direction, distorting Greek characters and misaligning the first line of text after one or more reverse line-feeds.

ASSIGN (C)

assign, deassign

assigns and deassigns devices Syntax

assign [ -u ] [ -v ] [ -d ] [ device] ...

deassign [ -u ] [ -v ] [ device] ...

Description

ASSIGN (C)

assign attempts to assign device to the current user. The device argument must be an assignable device that is not currently assigned. An assign command without an argument prints a list of assignable devices along with the name of the user to whom they are assigned.

deassign is used to "deassign" devices. Without any arguments, deassign will deassign all devices assigned to the user. When arguments are given, an attempt is made to deassign each device given as an argument.

With these commands you can exclusively use a device, such as a tape drive or floppy drive. This keeps other users from using the device.

They have a similar effect as chown(C) and chmod(C), although they only act on devices in /dev. Other aspects are discussed further on.

Available options include:

-d Performs the action of deassign. The -d option can be embedded in device names to assign some devices and deassign others.

-v Gives verbose output.

-u Suppresses assignment or deassignment, but performs error checking.

The assign command will not assign any assignable devices if it cannot assign all of them. deassign gives no diagnostic if the device cannot be deassigned. Devices can be automatically deassigned at logout, but this is not guaranteed. Device names can be just the begin- ning of the device required. For example,

assign fd

should be used to assign all floppy disk devices. Raw versions of de- vice will also be assigned, e.g., the raw floppy disk devices /dev/rfd?

would be assigned in the above example.

March 15, 1989 ASSIGN-1

(39)

ASSIGN (C) ASSIGN (C) Note that in many installations the assignable devices such as floppy disks have general read and write access, so the assign command may not be necessary. This is particularly true on single-user systems. De- vices supposed to be assignable with this command should be owned by the user asg. The directory Idev should be owned by bin and have mode 755. The assign command (after checking for use by someone else) will then make the device owned by whoever invokes the command, without changing the access permissions. This allows the system administrator to set up individual devices that are freely available, assignable (owned by asg), or nonassignable and restricted (not owned by asg and with some restricted mode).

Note that the first time assign is invoked, it builds the assignable devices table letc/atab. This table is used in subsequent invocations to save repeated searches of the Idev directory. If one of the devices in Idev is changed to be assignable or unassignable (Le., owned by asg), then letc/atab should be removed (by the super-user) so that a correct list will be built the next time the command is invoked.

Diagnostics

Exit code 0 returned if successful, 1 if problems, 2 if device cannot be assigned.
